June 24, 2016 at Peaceful Valley Campsite in Downsville.

Since 2009, JetLAG Festival has been a yearly family reunion of the Russian-American/ex-pat/Jew(ish)/weird/hippie/freak diaspora, but in the last few years, the festival has radically grown in size and blossomed into a culturally dazzling event. In 2010, a small camp called “Burning Man Camp” planted a seed, which grew over the years into “Wonderland”, a huge interactive island space where participants can play, practice yoga and meditation, explore and create music, participate in workshops, and create art. The main goal of Burning Man Camp and Wonderland was to create a unified experience aimed to inspire creativity, elevate consciousness and bring peace. This year, Wonderland is shapeshifting into a new creative zone, called PANGEA! Run by a new group of young and inspirational volunteers, it preserves much of it’s spirit with some new additions!

۞ What is PANGEA? ۞
Pangea’s vision is to create a space where people can work together to create their own mutual experience. We’ll have old-time Wonderland favorites, like the Chai Lounge, Fire-Spinners, DJ sets, and the Caterpillar Lounge (you know, that giant glowing mushroom you sat under?). This year, we are also introducing new events, such as live musical performances from up and coming bands, new workshops, and a story-telling party!

In the spirit of creating one’s own experience, we’re also restructuring our volunteer network, so that YOU can get involved in making this happen! If you want to run your own workshop, event, or performance on the PANGEA super-island, or just lend us a helping hand in setting up and maintaining the space, check our participation links here:

۞ INTERACTIVE SPACE ۞
In three days on the Pangea island, there will be lots of great events to take part in, workshops to learn from, and games to play!
From lounges, to yoga, you will find what you love, and love what you find!

✷Tea Lounge✷
Sit down, and take a sip of a hot cup of Chai in our annual Tea Lounge! It’s the lounge you know and love, revitalized for 2016.

✷Hookah Lounge✷

✷Yoga and Meditation✷
Whether you’re awaking from deep sleep, or haven’t closed your eyes since the night before, come join any morning at 9am for morning yoga adn meditation! Or if you just can’t get out of the tent in time, there will be many other opportunities throughout the weekend!

✷Healing Tent✷
The PANGEA Healing tent is an area of the festival dedicated to giving/receiving donation-based professional healing services.This year we are blessed to offer positions for bodyworkers, massage therapists, energetic healers, crystal therapists, ayurvedics, herbalists, energyworkers, and all those trained or certified in the healing arts and wanting to join in our event!

✷Campfire Jams✷
Dive back to to the fire where it all began. From the original Pangea today, humanity has come far, and it all began with the mastery of the flame. But in more recent history, JetLAG grew from a culture of acoustic jams around firepits, and we’ll be continuing the tradition with pits throughout the island

✷Workshops✷
Ever wanted to play with fire, or dance with the staff? Come join for a intro spin class! Explore the many workshops we will be offering throughout the weekend (more info coming soon!)

Big Mean Sound Machine’s music stimulates both your body and your mind! “This ensemble of 13 musicians bring together the musical languages of West Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America to create a lush bed of rhythm and harmony that embraces even the most hardcore fans of both Traditional Funk and Avant-Garde Jazz – and everyone in between! Anyone who has witnessed Big Mean Sound Machine live knows that their performances are among the heaviest and the sweatiest. ”

THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR
Filmmaker Barry Reese and subject Donna Lund in person
Wednesday, April 20 at 7:30 pm

An intimate portrait of the Pittsburg area Lund family provides an eye opening look at the realities of autism as we see their complex struggle matched by unwavering love and hope.

He was a star Yale football player who went on to become an attorney. She was a beautiful cheerleader who became a loving, caring teacher. Together they have four children, two boys and two girls. The boys are on the autism spectrum. The Family Next Door introduces us to the Lund family and takes us along on their journey into the hyper-complex and emotionally draining maze that is autism. We discover in real-time how the entire family is impacted. We witness the isolation, confusion and gnawing selfdoubt. And we experience with swelling hearts how unconditional love, hope and determination steer this family forward. (USA, 2014, 83 min. | Directors Michael Messner and Barry Reese)

Recording and performing for over a decade, Griffin House has toured with Ron Sexsmith, Patti Scialfa, Josh Ritter, John Mellencamp, Mat Kearney, and The Cranberries. He received early critical acclaim on the CBS Sunday Morning, and his songs have since been featured in countless films and television shows such as One Tree Hill, Army Wives, and Brothers and Sisters. He has also appeared on Late Night with Craig Ferguson. Most recently, CNN Newsroom invited House to perform “Paris Calling,” from So On and So Forth, live on the air, and the song has been picked up by radio prior to being serviced. House has released ten albums and continues to headline his own national tours. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Jane and their two daughters.

Sam & Margot met in the hills of Tuscany while studying physical theater. Sam was known for telling stories and playing football in high school but after traveling, studying meditation, and partaking in the sacred Ayahuasca ritual, he picked up his guitar and explored storytelling through a new medium: songwriting. Margot is a trained musical theater actress who discovered her love for writing music when she picked up her violin for the first time in ten years after moving to New York City. Together they caught the attention of the renowned songwriter Simone Felice who agreed to produce their debut album with David Baron (Meghan Trainor.) Sam & Margot are based in New York and play radical, romantic, roots music.

Big Sam’s Funky Nation is a driving force of urban funk. Ryan White, of the Oregonian, says the band is “tight enough (and hot enough) to turn coal into a diamond!” The band is led by trombone powerhouse, Big Sam Williams, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls “the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz.” Big Sam refuses to let the audience sit still. Between the band’s solos, Big Sam’s signature dance moves and his distinctive trombone riffs, the energy level is high voltage when this band takes the stage!

The Funky Nation is a stellar group of world-class musicians who meet the challenges of their funky band leader. BSFN’s signature Noladelic Powerfunk sound masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that’s the hallmark of big band funk.Big Sam began playing with the Dirty Dozen at the tender age of 19 before striking out on his own and creating the Funky Nation. Big Sam powered-up the horn section on the critically acclaimed, Grammy nominated, “River in Reverse” and is prominently featured in “Hot as a Pistol, Keen as a Blade” the concert tour DVD. While touring with Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint, in the Fall of 2006 and Summer of 2007, he earned consistent reviews as a musical force and star soloist. Big Sam has played with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Dave Matthews, Ozomatli, and Widespread Panic. He has also shared the stage with U2 and Green Day for the emotional and energetic re-opening of the Superdome which was broadcast live on Monday Night Football.

BSFN is a festival favorite across North America and their contagious tunes and memorable live performances have attracted fans far and wide, ranging from France, to the United Kingdom, to Greece, to Brazil, to Canada. BSFN is a favorite on the festival circuit and has sealed its mark on the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage, Gathering of the Vibes, Telluride Blues & Brews, Doheny Blues Festival, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, Wakarusa, Voodoo Music Experience, Bear Creek Music & Arts Festival, LEAF & many more.
